\ Wonderful Clock.


The renowned horologist of Villingin
in the Black Forest. Christian Martin.
has Just completed clock, which, rs a
marvel OF construction, probably sur
passes all that has hitherto been
achieved in the clock makingari. The
clock j. three and half meters high,
two and three quarters broad, and set
in magnificent Gothic ease 1t shows

southern hem:~phere> It records the
successive phases of the moon: and IL
strikes the minutes a. well n the quar-

who have seen the splendid specimens

the public Clockmakcr' hall at 1riberry,
Furtwangen and other places. and the
great clock on the opposite side of the
Rhine, in Strassburg cathedral. There
are multitudes of working figures, re-
presenting the life of man, the creed of

German mythologies. There are sixty

SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
For Investments in Growing Towns In
Minnesota.

Tor Investments in Growing Towns In
Minnesota.
A splendid opportunity is afforded
business men and mechanics at the
new towns Of Spicer and Hawick, in
Kandiyohi county. Minnesota. These
towns are located on the St. Cloud &
Willmar branch Of the ST. p, NJ. 6 NJ.
R'y. giving direct Duluth, St. Paul
and Minneapolis market. The road
was completed late last fall, yet three
elevators have been erected at Spicer,
and. two at Hawick; and at both points
an immense amount of wheat has been
marketed.
These towns have the advantage of
being located in an old. well-settled
country, and do rot. like frontier towns,
/ have to wait until the country settles,
for business. They are surrounded by
as good farming land rs there is in the
state. Good wood can be had at two
or three dollars per cord, delivered at
your door, The climate Is As healthy
as can be found anywhere. The
I county Is free from debt. 1t has only
one village containing over one thou
sand inhabitants, the population OF the
county being about fifteen thousand.
Spicer is located on the shores of
/ Green Lake. lake known and &C
knOwledged to be one of the finest
I in the state, seven miles long by five
/ miles wide The lake aboUnds with
/ fish of many varieties, among which
are Bass. Wall-cved Pike, and the cell
\ ebrattd fresh water Whitetish. 1t is
surrounded by timber except the small
/ opening on its southwest shore where
| Spicer is located, and Is entirely free
/ from mud and vegetation. Its waters
| are noted for purity. Even in the hot
test weather the waters of the lake are
cool, on account of its depth and the
many springs flowing into it. Those
\ living on its border use it for drinking
and domestic purposes during the whole
wear. A large number of ST. Paul and
I Minneapolis citizens have already sig
/ nitied their intention to erect cottages
J and spend the summer months on Its
shores. A boat with capacity to con-
yey three hundred people is contracted
for. and win be placed on the lake as
soon as spring opens.
Hawick is situated on the prairie
I about ten miles north of Spieer and
about one mile from heavy timber In
its vicinity was one of the first settle
ments in this part Of the country, pre-.
vious to the memorable wear of 1862,
and me town is now within the boun-
diaries of the oldest school district in
the county.
Those contemplating a change of 10
cation win do wisely in visiting these
towns and see for themselves. ANY fur

He Was Content.

A country parson, " in encountering
a storm the last season in the voyage
across the Atlantic, was reminded of the
following: A clergyman was so un-
fortunate as to be caught in a severe
gale on the voyage out. The WATERWAYS
exceedingly rough and the ship persist
entity buried her nose in the sea. The
rolling was constant and at last the
good man got thoroughly frightened
He believed they were destined for a
watery grave. He asked the Captain
if they could not have prayers. The
Captain took him by the arm and led
him down to the forecastle, where the
tars were singing and swearing.
There, said he. 'when you hear them
swearing YOU may know there Is no
danger" He went back feeling better,
but the storm increased his alarm.
Disconsolateand unassisted. be managed
to stagger to the forecastle agaIn. The
ancient mariners were swearing as bad
as ever. MARY, he said, as he crawled
into his berth, to his sympathetic wife,
after lacking across a wet deck and

There is certain class OF remedies for
constipation absolutely useless. These are
boluses and potions made in great part OF
podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and
other worthless ingredients. The damage
they do to the stomachs of those who use
them is incalculable. They evacuate the
bowels, it is true, but always do so violent
ly and profusely, and besides. gripe the
bowels Their effect is to weaken both
them and the stomach. Better far TO use
the agreeable and salutary aperlent, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, The laxative effect
of which is never preceded by pain, or ac'
companied by a convulSiVe, violent action
of the bowels On the contrary, IT invigor-
ates those organs, the stomach and the en-
tire system. As q means of curing and
preventing malarial fevers, no medicine
can compare with it, and it remedies ner-
vous debility, rheumatism, kidney and
bladder inactivitrs and other inorganic all

Amputatlng a Mans Tongue.

Philip Scott, of Arch street. yester-
day afternoon underwent a very deli
cate operation that was successfully
performed by DIR. +. II. Fisk. 1t con-
sisted in having his tongue, which had
become entirely eaten up with an
epithelial cancer. taken entirely out.
The patient was placed under the
influence of ether, when the physician
split the chin bone, and. cutting the
tissues free from the floor of the
tongue, il was drawn sufficiently to
admit of passing a curved needle around
and under the base of the tongue.
The ends of the needle were bent to-
gether, and an assistant held them
while a platina wire was inserted out
side and slightly beneath the needle.
4 galyanic cautery battery was then
used. and the tongue was literally
severed from it fastenings by cleo
tricity. The operation was performed,
without the loss of drop of blood, in
about forty minutes, DIR. L. f. Classin
assisting. --Ai5aHy ArgGs.
